Vscode snippet generator

Generate vscode snippets from markdown files

Why ?

Vscode snippets are quite weird with their array syntax for the snippet body and it might be cool if you could categories snippets into folders and files.

Creating new snippet

1. clonse the repo

   $ git clone https://github.com/Rafi993/Vscode-snippet-generator.git
   $ cd Vscode-snippet-generator
   

2. Just create a new folder in this project (folder name will be used as .json file name example react)
3. Create markdown file for snippet inside that folder
4. Follow the below format for writing snippet

     -----------------------------------------
     Name: Poorly named snippet
     Prefix: pns
     Description: This snippet does something
     -----------------------------------------
     This is the actual snippet body
   

5. Run

    $ node ./generator.js
   

6. Copy your .json file (name will be same as the folder you created example react.json) and paste it into vscode

Todo

• Figure out was way to copy snippets into vscode automatically (should work cross platform)
